Rulemaking
A. Regulatory History and Information
The Coast Guard published an NPRM
in the Federal Register entitled ‘‘Safety
Zones; Fireworks Displays in the Sector
Columbia River Captain of the Port
Zone’’ on June 18, 2014. The Coast
Guard published a Supplemental Notice
of Proposed Rulemaking in the Federal
Register on February 24, 2015 with a
comment period ending on March 26,
2015 (see 80 FR 9673). The SNPRM was
published to correct coordinates of 19 of
the fireworks displays and to clarify that
the coordinates of the safety zones are
approximate. Specifically, the SNPRM
corrected the location of the safety
zones for the following fireworks events:
Cinco de Mayo, Tri-City Chamber of
Commerce, Cedco Inc., Florence
Independence Day Celebration, Ilwaco
July 4th Independence Day at the Port,
East County 4th of July, City of St.
Helens 4th of July, Hood River 4th of
July, Rufus 4th of July, Maritime
Heritage Festival, Lynch Picnic, July 4th
Party at the Port of Gold Beach,
Roseburg Hometown 4th of July,
Newport 4th of July, The Mill Casino
Independence Day, Westport 100th
Anniversary, Westport 4th of July, The
4th of July at Pekin Ferry, and the
Leukemia and Lymphoma Light the
Night. Additionally, we found a
duplicate entry for the Hood River 4th
of July event.
B. Basis and Purpose
The legal basis for this rule is: 33
U.S.C. 1231; 50 U.S.C. 191, 33 CFR
PO 00000
Frm 00013
Fmt 4700
Sfmt 4700
29949
1.05–1, 6.04–1, 6.04–6, and 160.5; and
Department of Homeland Security
Delegation No. 0170.1, which
collectively authorize the Coast Guard
to establish regulatory safety zones for
safety and environmental purposes.
The safety zones are being
implemented to help ensure the safe
navigation of maritime traffic in the
Sector Columbia River Area of
Responsibility during fireworks
displays. Fireworks displays create
hazardous conditions for the maritime
public because of the large number of
vessels that congregate near the
displays, as well as the noise, falling
debris, and explosions that occur during
the event. Because firework discharge
sites can pose a hazard to the maritime
public, these safety zones are necessary
in order to restrict vessel movement and
reduce vessel congregation in the
proximity of the firework discharge
sites.
C. Discussion of Comments, Changes
and the Final Rule
Two comments to the SNPRM were
submitted and no requests for a public
meeting were received by the Coast
Guard. Both comments were submitted
by the fireworks display provider and
requested corrections to two locations.
The first comment stated that the
location of the Astoria Regatta Firework
display has changed to a different
location from which was published in
the SNPRM. The Coast Guard has
verified this position with the firework
coordinator and replaced the previous
geographic latitude and longitude. The
second comment stated that the location
of the Astoria-Warrenton 4th of July
Firework display has changed to a
different location from which was
published in the SNPRM. The Coast
Guard has verified this position with the
firework coordinator and replaced the
previous geographic latitude and
longitude.
D. Discussion of the Final Rule
The Final Rule modifies the safety
zone by incorporating new areas that
encompass waters within a 450 yard
radius of the launch site at the
approximate locations listed in the
tables.
Additionally, The Final Rule amends
the positions of the following fireworks
displays in order to accurately reflect
the approximate locations of the
fireworks displays:

E. Regulatory Analyses
We developed this rule after
considering numerous statutes and
executive orders related to rulemaking.
Below we summarize our analyses
based on these statutes and executive
orders.
1. Regulatory Planning and Review
wreier-aviles on DSK5TPTVN1PROD with RULES
This rule is not a significant
regulatory action under section 3(f) of
Executive Order 12866, Regulatory
Planning and Review, as supplemented
by Executive Order 13563, Improving
Regulation and Regulatory Review, and
does not require an assessment of
potential costs and benefits under
section 6(a)(3) of Executive Order 12866
or under section 1 of Executive Order
13563. The Office of Management and
Budget has not reviewed it under those
Orders. The Coast Guard bases this
finding on the fact that the safety zones
listed will be in place for a limited
period of time and are minimal in
duratioN
2. Impact on Small Entities
Under the Regulatory Flexibility Act
(5 U.S.C. 601–612), we have considered
the impact of this rule on small entities.
The Coast Guard certifies under 5 U.S.C.
605(b) that this rule will not have a
significant economic impact on a
substantial number of small entities.

This rule may affect the following
entities, some of which may be small
entities: The owners and operators of
vessels intending to operate in the area
covered by the safety zone. The rule will
not have a significant economic impact
on a substantial number of small entities
because the safety zones will only be in
effect for a limited period of time.
Additionally, vessels can still transit
through the zone with the permission of
the Captain of the Port. Before the
effective period, we will publish
advisories in the Local Notice to
Mariners available to users of the river.
Maritime traffic will be able to schedule
their transits around the safety zone.
If you think that your business,
organization, or governmental
jurisdiction qualifies as a small entity
and that this rule would have a
significant economic impact on it,
please submit a comment (see
ADDRESSES) explaining why you think it
qualifies and how and to what degree
this rule would economically affect it.
3. Assistance for Small Entities
Under section 213(a) of the Small
Business Regulatory Enforcement
Fairness Act of 1996 (Public Law 104–
121), we want to assist small entities in
understanding this rule. If the rule
would affect your small business,
organization, or governmental
jurisdiction and you have questions
concerning its provisions or options for
compliance, please contact the person
listed in the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION
CONTACT, above. The Coast Guard will
not retaliate against small entities that

4. Collection of Information
This rule will not call for a new
collection of information under the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44
U.S.C. 3501–3520).
5. Federalism
A rule has implications for federalism
under Executive Order 13132,
Federalism, if it has a substantial direct
effect on the States, on the relationship
between the national government and
the States, or on the distribution of
power and responsibilities among the
various levels of government. We have
analyzed this rule under that Order and
determined that this rule does not have
implications for federalism.
6. Protest Activities
The Coast Guard respects the First
Amendment rights of protesters.
Protesters are asked to contact the
person listed in the FOR FURTHER
INFORMATION CONTACT section to
coordinate protest activities so that your
message can be received without
jeopardizing the safety or security of
people, places or vessels.
7. Unfunded Mandates Reform Act
The Unfunded Mandates Reform Act
of 1995 (2 U.S.C. 1531–1538) requires
Federal agencies to assess the effects of
their discretionary regulatory actions. In
particular, the Act addresses actions
that may result in the expenditure by a
State, local, or tribal government, in the

8. Taking of Private Property
This rule would not cause a taking of
private property or otherwise have
taking implications under Executive
Order 12630, Governmental Actions and
Interference with Constitutionally
Protected Property Rights.
9. Civil Justice Reform
This rule meets applicable standards
in sections 3(a) and 3(b)(2) of Executive
Order 12988, Civil Justice Reform, to
minimize litigation, eliminate
ambiguity, and reduce burdeN
10. Protection of Children
We have analyzed this rule under
Executive Order 13045, Protection of
Children from Environmental Health
Risks and Safety Risks. This rule is not
an economically significant rule and
would not create an environmental risk
to health or risk to safety that might
disproportionately affect childreN
11. Indian Tribal Governments
This rule does not have tribal
implications under Executive Order
13175, Consultation and Coordination
with Indian Tribal Governments,
because it would not have a substantial
direct effect on one or more Indian
tribes, on the relationship between the
Federal Government and Indian tribes,
available in the docket where indicated
under ADDRESSES. We seek any
comments or information that may lead
to the discovery of a significant
environmental impact from this rule.

Government and Indian tribes.
aggregate, or by the private sector of
$100,000,000 (adjusted for inflation) or
more in any one year. Though this rule
would not result in such expenditure,
we do discuss the effects of this rule
elsewhere in this preamble.
This rule is not a ‘‘significant energy
action’’ under Executive Order 13211,
Actions Concerning Regulations That
Significantly Affect Energy Supply,
Distribution, or Use.
13. Technical Standards
This rule does not use technical
standards. Therefore, we did not
consider the use of voluntary consensus
standards.
14. Environment
We have analyzed this rule under
Department of Homeland Security
Management Directive 023–01 and
Commandant Instruction M16475.lD,
which guide the Coast Guard in
complying with the National
Environmental Policy Act of 1969
(NEPA) (42 U.S.C. 4321–4370f), and
have made a preliminary determination
that this action is one of a category of
actions that do not individually or
cumulatively have a significant effect on
the human environment. This rule
involves the amendment and addition of
safety zones in 33 CFR 165.1315. This
rule is categorically excluded from
further review under paragraph 34(g) of
Figure 2–1 of the Commandant
Instruction. A preliminary
environmental analysis checklist
supporting this determination and a
Categorical Exclusion Determination are

Coast Guard corrected the locations of nine existing and ten new
fireworks events in the Sector Columbia River Captain of the Port zone.
In addition, the Coast Guard is changing the format of the existing
regulation by incorporating a fireworks event table for ease of use.
DATES: This rule is effective June 25, 2015.

NPRM Notice of Proposed Rulemaking
SNPRM Supplemental Notice of Proposed Rulemaking
A. Regulatory History and Information
The Coast Guard published an NPRM in the Federal Register entitled
``Safety Zones; Fireworks Displays in the Sector Columbia River Captain
of the Port Zone'' on June 18, 2014. The Coast Guard published a
Supplemental Notice of Proposed Rulemaking in the Federal Register on
February 24, 2015 with a comment period ending on March 26, 2015 (see
80 FR 9673). The SNPRM was published to correct coordinates of 19 of
the fireworks displays and to clarify that the coordinates of the
safety zones are approximate. Specifically, the SNPRM corrected the
location of the safety zones for the following fireworks events: Cinco
de Mayo, Tri-City Chamber of Commerce, Cedco Inc., Florence
Independence Day Celebration, Ilwaco July 4th Independence Day at the
Port, East County 4th of July, City of St. Helens 4th of July, Hood
River 4th of July, Rufus 4th of July, Maritime Heritage Festival, Lynch
Picnic, July 4th Party at the Port of Gold Beach, Roseburg Hometown 4th
of July, Newport 4th of July, The Mill Casino Independence Day,
Westport 100th Anniversary, Westport 4th of July, The 4th of July at
Pekin Ferry, and the Leukemia and Lymphoma Light the Night.
Additionally, we found a duplicate entry for the Hood River 4th of July
event.
B. Basis and Purpose
The legal basis for this rule is: 33 U.S.C. 1231; 50 U.S.C. 191, 33
CFR 1.05-1, 6.04-1, 6.04-6, and 160.5; and Department of Homeland
Security Delegation No. 0170.1, which collectively authorize the Coast
Guard to establish regulatory safety zones for safety and environmental
purposes.
The safety zones are being implemented to help ensure the safe
navigation of maritime traffic in the Sector Columbia River Area of
Responsibility during fireworks displays. Fireworks displays create
hazardous conditions for the maritime public because of the large
number of vessels that congregate near the displays, as well as the
noise, falling debris, and explosions that occur during the event.
Because firework discharge sites can pose a hazard to the maritime
public, these safety zones are necessary in order to restrict vessel
movement and reduce vessel congregation in the proximity of the
firework discharge sites.
C. Discussion of Comments, Changes and the Final Rule
Two comments to the SNPRM were submitted and no requests for a
public meeting were received by the Coast Guard. Both comments were
submitted by the fireworks display provider and requested corrections
to two locations. The first comment stated that the location of the
Astoria Regatta Firework display has changed to a different location
from which was published in the SNPRM. The Coast Guard has verified
this position with the firework coordinator and replaced the previous
geographic latitude and longitude. The second comment stated that the
location of the Astoria-Warrenton 4th of July Firework display has
changed to a different location from which was published in the SNPRM.
The Coast Guard has verified this position with the firework
coordinator and replaced the previous geographic latitude and
longitude.
D. Discussion of the Final Rule
The Final Rule modifies the safety zone by incorporating new areas
that encompass waters within a 450 yard radius of the launch site at
the approximate locations listed in the tables.
Additionally, The Final Rule amends the positions of the following
fireworks displays in order to accurately reflect the approximate
locations of the fireworks displays:

Finally, the final rule places the regulated areas into a table
format, rather than a narrative format used previously.
E. Regulatory Analyses
We developed this rule after considering numerous statutes and
executive orders related to rulemaking. Below we summarize our analyses
based on these statutes and executive orders.
1. Regulatory Planning and Review
This rule is not a significant regulatory action under section 3(f)
of Executive Order 12866, Regulatory Planning and Review, as
supplemented by Executive Order 13563, Improving Regulation and
Regulatory Review, and does not require an assessment of potential
costs and benefits under section 6(a)(3) of Executive Order 12866 or
under section 1 of Executive Order 13563. The Office of Management and
Budget has not reviewed it under those Orders. The Coast Guard bases
this finding on the fact that the safety zones listed will be in place
for a limited period of time and are minimal in duratioN
2. Impact on Small Entities
Under the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601-612), we have
considered the impact of this rule on small entities. The Coast Guard
certifies under 5 U.S.C. 605(b) that this rule will not have a
significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities.
This rule may affect the following entities, some of which may be
small entities: The owners and operators of vessels intending to
operate in the area covered by the safety zone. The rule will not have
a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities
because the safety zones will only be in effect for a limited period of
time. Additionally, vessels can still transit through the zone with the
permission of the Captain of the Port. Before the effective period, we
will publish advisories in the Local Notice to Mariners available to
users of the river. Maritime traffic will be able to schedule their
transits around the safety zone.
If you think that your business, organization, or governmental
jurisdiction qualifies as a small entity and that this rule would have
a significant economic impact on it, please submit a comment (see
ADDRESSES) explaining why you think it qualifies and how and to what
degree this rule would economically affect it.
3. Assistance for Small Entities
Under section 213(a) of the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement
Fairness Act of 1996 (Public Law 104-121), we want to assist small
entities in understanding this rule. If the rule would affect your
small business, organization, or governmental jurisdiction and you have
questions concerning its provisions or options for compliance, please
contact the person listed in the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT,
above. The Coast Guard will not retaliate against small entities that
question or complain about this rule or any policy or action of the
Coast Guard.
4. Collection of Information
This rule will not call for a new collection of information under
the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501-3520).
5. Federalism
A rule has implications for federalism under Executive Order 13132,
Federalism, if it has a substantial direct effect on the States, on the
relationship between the national government and the States, or on the
distribution of power and responsibilities among the various levels of
government. We have analyzed this rule under that Order and determined
that this rule does not have implications for federalism.
6. Protest Activities
The Coast Guard respects the First Amendment rights of protesters.
Protesters are asked to contact the person listed in the FOR FURTHER
INFORMATION CONTACT section to coordinate protest activities so that
your message can be received without jeopardizing the safety or
security of people, places or vessels.
7. Unfunded Mandates Reform Act
The Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (2 U.S.C. 1531-1538)
requires Federal agencies to assess the effects of their discretionary
regulatory actions. In particular, the Act addresses actions that may
result in the expenditure by a State, local, or tribal government, in
the
[[Page 29951]]
aggregate, or by the private sector of $100,000,000 (adjusted for
inflation) or more in any one year. Though this rule would not result
in such expenditure, we do discuss the effects of this rule elsewhere
in this preamble.
8. Taking of Private Property
This rule would not cause a taking of private property or otherwise
have taking implications under Executive Order 12630, Governmental
Actions and Interference with Constitutionally Protected Property
Rights.
9. Civil Justice Reform
This rule meets applicable standards in sections 3(a) and 3(b)(2)
of Executive Order 12988, Civil Justice Reform, to minimize litigation,
eliminate ambiguity, and reduce burdeN
10. Protection of Children
We have analyzed this rule under Executive Order 13045, Protection
of Children from Environmental Health Risks and Safety Risks. This rule
is not an economically significant rule and would not create an
environmental risk to health or risk to safety that might
disproportionately affect childreN
11. Indian Tribal Governments
This rule does not have tribal implications under Executive Order
13175, Consultation and Coordination with Indian Tribal Governments,
because it would not have a substantial direct effect on one or more
Indian tribes, on the relationship between the Federal Government and
Indian tribes, or on the distribution of power and responsibilities
between the Federal Government and Indian tribes.
12. Energy Effects
This rule is not a ``significant energy action'' under Executive
Order 13211, Actions Concerning Regulations That Significantly Affect
Energy Supply, Distribution, or Use.
13. Technical Standards
This rule does not use technical standards. Therefore, we did not
consider the use of voluntary consensus standards.
14. Environment
We have analyzed this rule under Department of Homeland Security
Management Directive 023-01 and Commandant Instruction M16475.lD, which
guide the Coast Guard in complying with the National Environmental
Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA) (42 U.S.C. 4321-4370f), and have made a
preliminary determination that this action is one of a category of
actions that do not individually or cumulatively have a significant
effect on the human environment. This rule involves the amendment and
addition of safety zones in 33 CFR 165.1315. This rule is categorically
excluded from further review under paragraph 34(g) of Figure 2-1 of the
Commandant Instruction. A preliminary environmental analysis checklist
supporting this determination and a Categorical Exclusion Determination
are available in the docket where indicated under ADDRESSES. We seek
any comments or information that may lead to the discovery of a
significant environmental impact from this rule.

(b) Special requirements. Fireworks barges or launch sites on land
used in locations stated in this rule shall display a sign. The sign
will be affixed to the port and starboard side of the barge or mounted
on a post 3 feet above ground level when on land and in close proximity
to the shoreline facing the water labeled ``FIREWORKS-DANGER-STAY
AWAY.'' This will provide on-scene notice that the safety zone is, or
will, be enforced on that day. This notice will consist of a diamond
shaped sign, 4 foot by 4 foot, with a 3 inch orange retro-reflective
border. The word ``DANGER'' shall be 10 inch black block letters
centered on the sign with the words ``FIREWORKS'' and ``STAY AWAY'' in
6 inch black block letters placed above and below the word ``DANGER''
respectively on a white background. An on-scene patrol vessel may
enforce these safety zones at least 1 hour prior to the start and 1
hour after the conclusion of the fireworks display.
(c) Notice of enforcement. These safety zones will be activated and
thus subject to enforcement, under the following conditions: the Coast
Guard must receive an Application for Marine Event for each fireworks
display; and, the Captain of the Port will cause notice of the
enforcement of these safety zones to be made by all appropriate means
to provide notice to the affected segments of the public as
practicable, in accordance with 33 CFR 165.7(a). The Captain of the
Port will issue a Local Notice to Mariners notifying the public of
activation and suspension of enforcement of these safety zones.
Additionally, an on-scene Patrol Commander may be appointed to enforce
the safety zones by limiting the transit of non-participating vessels
in the designated areas described above.
(d) Enforcement period. This rule will be enforced at least one
hour before and one hour after the duration of the event each day a
barge or launch site with a ``FIREWORKS-DANGER-STAY AWAY'' sign is
located within any of the above designated safety zone locations and
meets the criteria established in paragraphs (a), (b), and (c).
(e) Regulations. In accordance with the general regulations in 33
CFR part 165, subpart C, no person may enter or remain in the safety
zone created in this section or bring, cause to be brought, or allow to
remain in the safety zone created in this section any vehicle, vessel,
or object unless authorized by the Captain of the Port or his
designated representative. The Captain of the Port may be assisted by
other Federal, State, or local agencies with the enforcement of the
safety zone.
(f) Authorization. All vessel operators who desire to enter the
safety zone must obtain permission from the Captain of the Port or
Designated Representative by contacting either the on-scene patrol
craft on VHF Ch 13 or Ch 16 or the Coast Guard Sector Columbia River
Command Center via telephone at (503) 861-6211.
